x800 GTO temps

[jinx099]

I just got the C3D x800 GTO and have it unlocked to 16 pipes. When it is clocked to 550/550, the temps reach about 83c. I've never monitored GPU temps before owning this card, so I don't know if its acceptable or not. I'm currently using the stock cooling.

What are your x800 temps?

Thats a Good OC you've got there!!! But 83c is kinda high. Try keeping it below 70c. Get the zalman vga cooler for better OC and cooler temp ex. 65c max load. This is just what I've heard on techpowerup forum, I dont even have the card yet.
BTW, my C3Dx800 GTO is on its way. Could you plz show me step by step on flashing and unlocking to 16 pipes process. And did you use the pci-e power cable that comes with the card?

Thx

I probably will get the Zalman cooler.

I did use the power cable, I dont know if it made a difference or not. Theres a great article here: http://www.techpowerup.com/articles/overclocking/vidcard/127

I went from about 4500 3dmark03 to over 6000 after the mod. Good luck!

Any more comments on mine, or your x800 temps?
